BUTTER-WORKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,148, dated Februaiy 5,1834.

v Application filed August 12, 1882. Renewed April 21,1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, AMASA C. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, residing at llIanchester, in the county of Delaware and State 5 of,Iowa,- have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Butter-\Vorkers; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference be- IO ing had to the annexed drawings, makinga part 'of. this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a top view of mybutter-worke'r. Fig. 2 is aside view of 15 the same, and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view.

This invention has relation to butter-work ers; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinclaims appended. t

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the/trough or working-board, having a marginal" wall consisting of side 2 strips. b, and end strips, 0.

D D represent the standards, which are braced across by the end boards, E, on which the trough Arests, its side strips beingin I contact with the inner walls of thestandards.

cured strips b, which extend horizontally and parallel to the side strips,b,of the trough,forming therewith guide-bearings, between which are the long slotways 9, one on each side of the trough. Below the guide-bearings b and b are provided a second set of guide-bearings or track-bars, h and h, respectively secured to the inner and outer faces of the standards.

Between the guide-bearings b I) and the track- 0 bars h h ahorizontal interspace, 7:, is provided,

extending lengthwise of the frame. Between the track-bars h and h are the long vertical slotways g.'

L indicates the handle-frame, consisting of 5 the side bars, an, transverse handle-bar n, and

brace 12. To the side bars are pivoted the journals of the working -roller R, and beyond the bearings s of said journals the side bars are extended downward through the slotways 9, their extremities t engaging the slotways 9' below, as indicated in the drawings. These extensions V of the side bars are designed tobe bound with metal strips ato give them strength. To each side of each extenthe diameter of which is a little less than the vertical distance between the guide-bearings I) b and the track-bars h h, said wheels b eing designed to move freely in the long interspaces k, and to engage said bearings or bars during the working of the roller R back and forth in the trough. a By this construction it is designed to steady the roller and keep it square toits work in the trough, at the same time relieving the handlerframe of '65 much of the friction,'so that itcair be operated with facility. Projecting from the ends of the roller axially are the small cylinders arms or rolling bearings e, which, when said roller R is being moved back and forth, engage the upper edges of the side walls, b, of the trough, keeping the same clear and pro teeting the trough from the rust of the bear ings or journals of the working-roller.

Heretofore butter-workers have been provided with rollers extending transversely of the table or frame, and having arms extend ing beyond the side strips downwardly-car rying frictionrollers working in grooved guide-strips secured to the forward sides of the table. v P

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In a butter-worker, the combination, with the trough A, provided on each side with a double set of parallel guide-bars or track-bars, one set above the other, of the reciprocating roller -frame having extensions of its side bars downward between said guide- 0 bars, and anti-friction wheels, one on each side of each extension between the upper and lower track-bars, substantially as specified.

2. In a butter-worker, the combination, with the trough A and the reciprocating working-roll R, of the handleframe L, formed with downward extensions V, its side arms provided each with an anti-friction wheel, 20; and the upper and lower sets of parallel guidebars, 11 I) 7th, on each side of the trough, IOO engaging the sides of said extensions and the circular edges of said anti-friction-wheels, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
